I hope you find this acceptable evidence.

Hi Steve,

We are talking about the middle badge, right?

It certainly looks OK from what I can see. The scanner you are using doesn't have a lot of depth of field - is the reverse solid?

This may well be the first item to remove from the fantasy list - keep in touch !!!

RE: scanner 400 dpi. I scan all my items at 800 dpi and the stretch/skew on Microsoft paint to 50% size both horizontal and vertical and then save. This will allow the piccy to be loaded onto most forums OK.

Regards

Chris
